1. The analysis.do file and data_final.dta file must be in the same directory.  Outputs will be writted to this directory.

2. The script (analysis.do) can be run from within Stata, with the only requirement that the data_final.dta file be in the same folder.  The command within Stata to run the script is "do analysis.do"

3. The script can be run on a local machine.  Authors ran Stata 16.1 on a Windows operating system with 32.0 GB of RAM.  The code installs the labsum command automatically.

4. Figures 1-3 were created in ArcGIS 10.3.  For Figure 1, churches were mapped using their coordinates, and kernel densities are created using the Kernel Density tool at a 1.5 km bandwidth.  For Figure 2, each death was mapped using coordinates, and a kernel density was created using the Kernel Density tool at 500 meters.  Figure 3 maps the same churches as in Figure 1, and uses the Raster Calculator to create a the church diversity measure following equation (1) in the paper.
